They asked me about overheating. It did overheat once last spring, but I turned it off, got towed in, and took it straight to the dealer. Ended up with a new water pump. Never ran it overheated, and it was on freshwater at the time too. No telling what happened when the original owner had it.

I took it to Boostpower in Newbury Park north of LA, and they did fantastic. It is a bit of a drive, but they have a really impressive shop, they know their stuff, and pay attention to all the little details. They normally do high performance boats, but did not have a problem working on a v-drive.
